Summary:	The Koryaks are the main aboriginal population of the Koryak Autonomous District (okrug), a part of Kamchatka Oblast in Russia. The Koryak are divided into two groups distinguished by economic activity: Chavchuvens (nomadic reindeer herders) and Nymylan (settled fishermen and sea hunters). The Koryak language belongs to the Chukotko-Koryak group of the Paleoasian languages. This collection contains six documents and the time coverage is from ca. 1750-1996.
